Cactus Flowers

Today I’ve put together a little collage of some of the cactus I saw blooming on Sunday at the Desert Botanical Gardens. The colors were brilliant and the blossoms perfect. The area was just awash in color, luring photographers to get a closer look. Not too close, though. There are still those thorns to contend with.

Even the little potted cactus in the gift shop were blooming. See the upper left corner.

This is gorgeous, Sharon! I have two cacti about to bloom for the 1st time and I have no idea what colour the flowers will be. I think one of them is at the left center of your collage. Let's see... :-)
